NASA Unveils 'Mars Rover Landing' Game for Xbox Kinect
Danielle Roosa, granddaughter of Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Roosa, demonstrates NASA and Microsoft's free Kinect interactive Xbox video game, "Mars Rover Landing." The new game lets players try their skill at landing the Curiosity rover on Mars. The game is available free of charge in the Xbox Live Marketplace and Kinect Central.
Transcript:Doug McCuistion: Turn this over to Jeff Norris to explain this and describe it...Jeff.
Jeff Norris: Thank you Doug, I'm very excited to announce a ground breaking partnership between NASA,
the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Microsoft to inspire the next generation of explorers
and scientists and technologists.
Mars rover landing is the agency's first experience for a home entertainment console
and through it we're bringing some of the excitement
and a few of the challenges of landing Curiosity on Mars to living rooms around the world.
As we're demonstrating live here today people take control of their very own spacecraft using the kinect
and move their body to steer the rover through the stages of entry, descent and landing.
Right now, Danielle is playing the first phase of the game she's doing her best to burn off some speed
while staying on target and inside the entry corridor.
In the next phase she'll have to react quickly in order to deploy the parachute
separate the heat shield and then release the descent stage at the perfect moment.
It's not easy, but we think families are going to enjoy facing the challenges of landing on Mars first hand.
By the way, I'll mention that Danielle is the granddaughter of Apollo 14 astronaut,
Stuart Roosa and quite literally an example of the next generation of explorers.
We'll check back in just a moment to see how her landing is progressing.
The Mars Rover Landing game is free and available now on Xbox live marketplace.
We have demonstration systems set up here at NASA Headquarters
and at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for you all to try out, first hand.
It's exciting, challenging and a whole lot of fun.
Doug mentioned many ways that people can watch Curiosity's landing and get involved with the mission.
And our mutual commitment to inspiring the next generation in science and math,
NASA and Microsoft will also soon unveil a special destination on the Xbox live dashboard
dedicated to the Curiosity mission.
In it, people will find pictures, videos and more facts about the mission.
And then on August 5th NASA TV's live coverage of Curiosity's landing will be broadcast there too.
Also coming soon is an educational experience based on Microsoft coding
in which students can program their very own Mars rover and make discoveries of their own.
Let check back in with Danielle.
She's finishing up the second stage of the experience now.
She's deployed the descent stage and in the third phase she's going to have to perform the sky crane maneuver
and then carefully manage the retro rockets in order to bring Curiosity down for a safe landing.
This is a tricky balancing act and we didn't give her a lot of fuel...so lets give her a minute to concentrate and see if she can land successfully.
Voice: We have rover separation.
Voice: We have touch down on Mars.
Voice: We have a rover in Gale Crater.

All News Releases By Date
$5-10 million in Recovery Act funds added to cleanup at Elizabeth Mine Superfund Site in Stafford, Vt.
Release Date: 04/15/2009
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – April 15, 2009) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced $5-10 million in new funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for the Elizabeth Mine Superfund site near Stafford, Vt. The money will accelerate the hazardous waste clean-up already underway at the site. It will also jumpstart the local economy by creating jobs in the area. This Recovery Act funding is part of the $600 million that Congress appropriated to the Federal Superfund remedial program.
"EPA has an answer to these challenging economic times," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "Under the Recovery Act, we're getting harmful pollutants and dangerous chemicals out of these communities and putting jobs and investment back in."
This funding will enable EPA to begin the final phase of the Non-Time Critical Removal Action, eliminating the acid rock drainage from the waste piles and greatly reduce the leachate generated by the tailing impoundments. The final phase is a three to four year project, a portion of which will be funded via the Recovery Act, allowing EPA to begin and complete this work sooner than planned, which will shorten the time period to see an improvement of water quality.
"This Recovery Act funding will be a real boost for Stafford as we are able to speed up the clean up of the Elizabeth Mine Site," said Ira Leighton, acting regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "The infusion of extra clean up money will provide real dividends to the community with a cleaner environment and good-paying jobs."
The Federal Superfund program was created in 1980 to clean up uncontrolled hazardous waste sites that pose unacceptable risks to human health and the environment. Superfund sites are often found in industrial areas hardest hit by the recession. Superfund cleanups are major construction projects which employ thousands of workers nationwide. The Superfund program is implementing new or expanded cleanup actions at 50 sites around the country and since it began, the program has completed construction of remedies at more than 1,060 of the 1,586 sites on its National Priorities List.
By starting or speeding up cleanup at Superfund sites, Recovery Act funding is also increasing the speed with which these sites are returned to productive use. When a Superfund site is redeveloped, it can offer significant economic benefits to local communities including future job creation.
President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on February 17, 2009 and has directed the Recovery Act be implemented with unprecedented transparency and accountability. To that end, the American people can see how every dollar is being invested at www.Recovery.gov.

Updated, 5:33 pm ET, Feb. 6. The Senate Armed Services Committee may delay the committee vote on the confirmation of Chuck Hagel to be the next defense secretary.
That vote was expected tomorrow. However, Republicans say the former Republican Nebraska senator has not provided all of the vetting materials requested about some his past speeches and finances, and they are looking into a complaint by a former Hagel staffer that she was harassed by another staffer.
Hagel's explanation is that some of those materials are the property of organizations with whom he has worked. But Democrats see the attempts as an effort to try and get President Obama to withdraw Hagel, something seen as unlikely.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is among those Republicans who have explicitly asked the president to "reconsider" the choice of Hagel.
"I don't think he's done anything unethical," Graham said. "He got paid to speak in front of groups; that's a common practice around here. I want to know who did he speak in front of, what did he say, and where did the money come from?"
Hagel said at his confirmation hearing that he does not have all of the speeches because he delivered many of them extemporaneously.
The White House reacted to the potential delay, calling for the Senate to "move quickly," per NBC's Kristen Welker.
"We continue to expect the Senate to move quickly to confirm Sen. Hagel as our next Secretary of Defense," an official said in a statement. "Since his confirmation hearing, more Senators on both sides of the aisle have announced their support for his confirmation, including Sens. [Mike] Johanns [R-NE], Kirsten Gillibrand [D-NY], [Tom] Udall [D-CO], [Kay] Hagan [D-NC], and [Richard] Blumenthal [D-CT]. It's clear that Senator Hagel has significant support in the Senate. So with 66,000 troops serving in Afghanistan and other Defense issues to deal with, it's time to move beyond these distractions and move forward with a vote on his nomination."
But without an opportunity to review all the requested information about Hagel's background and views contained in his past speeches, some Republican members have raised concerns and want more time.
Graham supports a delay. "You do have the ability to stop the nomination from going forward to get the information," he said. "I would be willing to do that. I would vote against a motion to proceed until I feel like we have the information that we need to make an informed decision."
Tomorrow, the committee will hear from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey on the Benghazi attacks. Their appearance and testimony before a Hagel vote was one condition requested by Graham in order to leverage more access to information about the deadly attack in Libya. Graham said he would seek to put a hold on Hagel's confirmation vote until Panetta testified.
A decision on timing for the committee vote belongs to committee chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) who aides say is "working very hard to try to address and resolve those concerns today, so the committee can go forward with the vote tomorrow."
However, Levin's office acknowledges that it is unclear now if the vote will go forward as originally planned.
"We were supposed to vote tomorrow," Graham said, "but I think we should wait."
Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) told The Cable Tuesday that Republicans also are awaiting the results of a their investigation into a claim by a former Hagel staffer of sexual harassment by another staffer in 2007.
"I remember handling it, I thought it was handled," Lou Ann Linehan, Hagel's chief of staff at the time, told The Cable. "I did not bring it to the senator. I would not have taken it to the senator unless it required a termination and that wasn't the case. The term sexual harassment shocks me a little bit. I wouldn't have put up with anything that was actually sexual harassment. I had a very low tolerance for it. I don't put up with that stuff. Hagel didn't tolerate it, I didn't tolerate it."

R esponses to last week's column about my youngest son's silver tooth, or "cap," have been enlightening. I've learned many things:
I shouldn't be afraid of fluoride.
My kids' cavities might be my fault.
Then again, maybe not.
My son drinks too much juice.
And, most importantly, I'm not alone.
There are a lot of silver teeth out there, and even more fillings. I know because mothers wrote me to say, "me too" and "I'm glad I'm not alone," but also because I've seen it for myself this past week. Like a pregnant woman who suddenly thinks everyone else — from celebrities on magazines to virtually every single person she passes at the store — are also pregnant, I have noticed a great many silver teeth since my son got his. Everywhere I look: Cavities! Decay! Silver! While talking to people, I've reflexively inspected their teeth and noticed every flash of color coming from their molars.
Interestingly, however, I've quit seeing my son's silver tooth. That's the good news for other mothers out there grieving over new metal in their child's mouth. At first, all I could see was "the dreaded tooth." It was a search light coming from his mouth. How could anyone not notice? Now I've nearly forgotten about it. Or maybe the silver has simply dulled.
In any case, outside of mothers commiserating with me, I also received messages from seemingly every pediatric dentist in the world. No, not really. But I did have a lengthy conversation with a pediatric dentist, Dr. Jonathan Shenkin, based in Augusta, who saw my column and contacted me. Shenkin put my mind and my guilt at rest, but he, like my own dentist, still won't allow me the comfort of falsely believing there isn't more I could have done.
"You just didn't know all the information when he was a baby," Shenkin says. He adds that most parents don't.
Shenkin believes parents often see the dentist too late. That is, after the age when they could have received the basic information they need to ensure good oral health and avoid dental treatment down the road. Preferably, children should go to a dentist when they are 1-year old, or 6 months after their first tooth erupts.
There's more. Did you know most children should start using fluoride toothpaste when they are 2 years old? Did you know that 44 percent of children don't brush their teeth twice a day and that more than 50 percent of them will have cavities by the time they are in second grade? Did you know that brushing your teeth isn't enough to prevent cavities?
Shenkin is on a mission to educate parents and, perhaps more importantly, the medical community — gatekeepers of health information for most children — about basic preventative dental care before cavities appear. He says that filling cavities without correcting behaviors is like cutting limbs off diabetic patients and then saying, "Look at how good we are at treating diabetes."
The keys to good oral health, he says, are brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and limiting sugar intake.
I complained that mornings are crazy and I can't always be sure my boys have brushed their teeth. "That's like putting a bicycle helmet on your child 50 percent of the time and then being surprised when they have an accident," he said. And the twice-a-day routine should begin as early as possible, like when the first tooth appears.
But baby breath smells so good, I said. I never thought their mouths could be dirty. Plus, I told Shenkin, in my 12 years as a parent I had begun to think fluoride was poison. There are so many warnings about not letting kids swallow it and only using a pea-sized amount. I let my children use "training paste" too long for fear they might die from the fluoride.
Shenkin said that before a child can spit, using a peasized amount of toothpaste is enough and safe.
Maybe my kids' teeth are just soft, I said, trying to cheer myself up.
Shenkin says there's no such thing. For most people, personal behaviors and hygiene are the sole causes of tooth decay. There is no evidence to support naturally occurring, cavity-prone teeth.
I sighed. So I messed up, I said.
"But you didn't know," Shenkin said again, echoing my dentist's thoughts. Shenkin says it is the system that fails, not necessarily the parents. "If no one told you to get your child vaccinated and then he got sick, would you say that's your fault? Or is it the system's fault?"
I'll go with "the system" because it makes me feel better.
Children's dental health, or the lack of it, is taboo in the culture of motherhood. Maybe that's because none of us really know what we're doing, and also because we're ashamed of the outcome (cavities). Shenkin hopes to change that by educating providers and the public.
But that won't fix my son's silver tooth, which he will have now until he's 11 or 12. The damage to his teeth was already done, long before I first took him to the dentist too late, at 3-years-old. Now I live with the silver reminder coming from his back molar.
Still, my son doesn't care. One day he smiled up at me, shrugged, and said, "Well, at least it's not a wooden tooth like George Washington."
Yes. There is that.

"Universities are failing to take up the challenge of replacing their animal experiments with non-animal techniques, whilst industry has made significant strides forward, says an article to be published in the September issue of the international peer-reviewed journal BioEssays. Animal experiments conducted by industry in Britain have fallen significantly over several years, but those carried out by universities and medical schools have risen by 52% in the last decade.So says the Dr Hadwen Trust about its own article. Not sure why they think that industry large scale toxicity testing has any repercussions for basic scientific research, but what do I know?
The article is authored by eminent professors engaged in academic research in immunology, infection and pain, as well as the Dr Hadwen Trust's Dr Gill Langley, one of the world's leading authorities on non-animal replacement techniques...Replacing animal experiments is a well-established concept in industry, especially in the pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetics sectors. By contrast, in academia, animal use continues to rise and efforts to replace animal experiments are all too often poorly prioritised or focused. In areas where researchers have pioneered replacement efforts, some animal experiments have been successfully replaced, such as in neurological, reproductive and dentistry research. But elsewhere in the university sector progress has been unnecessarily slow.
"In recent years industry has started to respond actively to the replacement challenge in a way that we have yet to see within academia. In safety testing, particularly within the cosmetics, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, non-animal techniques are recognised as advanced methods that are more ethical and also more relevant to humans, as well as being quicker and cheaper solutions. There is a growing acknowledgement of the need to develop non-animal methods, with legislative reform and consumer pressure for cruelty-free choices both playing a key role in speeding up the pace of change. However, universities tend to be less accountable and more isolated from these external factors and as a consequence their animal use has continued to increase unabated.""
The article starts by making the perfectly valid observation that industry has reduced the number of animals used, whilst academia has increased the numbers (likely due in part to increased use of transgenics as Nick points out) and then highlights a couple of examples of where replacement has taken place (toxicity testing, computer models of placental physiology and orthodontics, and transcranial magnetic stimulation in brain research) and then goes on to suggests how replacement may help in other fields, for example in sepsis:
"Animal models have provided a large body of evidence to establish the major pathophysiological mechanisms that operate during sepsis, and as a springboard in the development of new therapies. However, they are imperfect models...The in vitro tools of molecular and cellular biology will still provide much important information in the future...Newer methods of cell culture using three-dimensional supports hold promise as better models of tissue function...and advances in stem cell biology may well allow quite complex tissues to be constructed entirely in vitro. Similarly, progress being made in computer modelling of sepsis may also allow modelling of septic processes without the use of animals...A greater use of human subjects and material in sepsis research could contribute to the reduction of animal experimentation, while providing mechanistic insights into this serious medical problem."or respiratory disease:
In the case of COPD, epithelial cells at baseline and following exposure to tobacco smoke extract also exhibit markers of injury and repair that occur in vitro in the airway cells of patients, but not in those from normal volunteers...Building upon the in vitro monolayer system, it has been possible to produce a fully differentiated airway epithelium...they can be used to look for novel molecular targets using genomic and proteomic platforms. They can also be used as test systems for novel therapeutics...Computer simulations have also been used to explore mechanisms of asthma pathology and predict the efficacy of potential treatments"and pain:
"Animal models have provided us with key information about the detailed anatomical connections of nociceptive pathways...and potential physiological mechanisms of pain perception...To achieve a more physiological approach to pain classification, it will be necessary to identify the normal physiological...and pathophysiological mechanisms of pain perception...For example, PET studies have shown a selective reduction in receptors for natural opiates in the brains of patients with severe pain due to stroke...Following identification of mechanisms in humans, targeted drug development should be narrowly based on modulation of those mechanisms. Having identified and measured the pathophysiological mechanisms, proof-of-concept trials will be much more cost-effective. Preferably no drug should be developed without establishing that it reaches the target organ in humans, prior to clinical trials. In many cases, this can be achieved using molecular imaging e.g. PET. In summary, techniques exist to begin to reclassify human pain physiologically and to identify candidate pathophysiological mechanisms in volunteers. By working back from these mechanisms to drug development, some animal experiments maybe replaced."
They go on to conclude that:
"In academia, with an emphasis more on fundamental medical research, change has been slower. There are several reasons: (1) open-ended research questions are perceived as being more difficult to pursue without animal experiments, (2) there are few avenues for consumer pressure to be exerted, and (3) academic research is less shaped by legislative and regulatory initiatives. However, recent systematic reviews of the translation of animal research into clinical benefit may well signal a change."
I'm sure this article will be jumped on by the anti-vivisection crowd but when you analyse it this is all so much smoke and mirrors. To a naive reader this looks like what the anti-vivs have to say is true, that there are all these alternatives to animal research out there and the evil scientists are ignoring them.
It is worth noting that they explicitly don't say that animals are so different to humans that all research on them is meaningless, and that is a rather popular trope among the anti-viv crowd, so it is interesting that they couldn't get the scientists to say that here. If you read the sections written by the scientists they explicitly say that animal research has contributed much knowledge (and notice the caveats about what non-animal methods may add), but what they don't say, and this goes to the heart of it, is that all scientists are well aware of these other techniques and they are already very widely used because they are complementary to other research (they are also relatively, last 20 years say, new, and could never have contributed to biological knowledge in the past because they simply didn't exist).
I mean, seriously, for fuck's sake, what working medical scientist isn't either aware of, or actively involved in in vitro molecular and cellular work? And how do we think these computer models and other assays were developed, how do we know they are accurate reflections of the biology? Oh yes, the animals. And that is not even to think about where half the reagents and tissue comes from (I'll give you a clue, they're fluffy).
When a working scientist reads this they are bemused, 'what is this article trying to tell us?', it simply mentions a few techniques which are already widely known and widely employed, they represent the state of play in a field of research, they are not replacements because they are doing different things. Sure, new techniques might give us new knowledge, quelle fucking surprise! This paper has absolutely nothing to add to the vivisection debate.
For instance, much of the rise in animal research has been in transgenics, animals with genetic manipulations. Let us take an example of a disease Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative condition where mutations in the Huntingtin gene have been implicated. Now where do we go from here? We might wonder whether we can reverse the effects of this mutation with treatment or is the damage done too early for us to do anything about it? Luckily enough we can engineer an animal model with mutant Huntingtin, and interestingly it turns out that we can't reverse the neuronal damage and behavioural deterioration when it manifests, but we can arrest it by turning off the gene - making gene silencing therapies a promising avenue of research. But this was animal research precipitated by non-animal 'alternatives', oh no - it is like the alternatives aren't alternatives after all, but different modalities for research, complementary but not necessarily replacing animal experiments.
These genetic animal models, in, for example, Alzheimer's are loads better than the models we had before the genetic knowledge was there (for example, anticholinesterase treatment was inspired by previous models based on the degeneration of cholinergic cells in Alzheimer's, but this is merely a downstream consequence of the pathology, so the treatments cannot be curative only relieve symptoms).
This kind of stuff just seriously pisses me off - it isn't that offensive in and of itself, but it is just meaningless platitudinous drivel in pursuit of a wider agenda. It looks all reasonable until you see that it is attempting to provide intellectual cover for the anti-vivs through confusing non-scientists into thinking that there are somehow these magic replacements for animal research.
What they try and imply is that there are all these new techniques that don't (necessarily) require animal vivisection (true), and that animal research in academia has been rising in recent years (also true), but the link is not that scientists are therefore ignoring non-animal techniques because they are stupid, or not subject to 'consumer pressure', but quite possibly because new knowledge spurs on further research, some of which has to be done with animals.
Rant over!
Bizarrely one of the authors has this to say in spiked:
"I should teach the world that higher animals, and specifically humans, function
as complex systems, where the individual inputs produce effects greater than
their sum parts. While reductionist science can help in identifying the parts,
the real difficulty for medical science is how the parts interact in the intact
organism, and how the intact organism is ordered. This must be the challenge of
medical science for the current millennium."

(EXP GDC Beast v8.4d mPCI-E + GTX970 + ATX PSU) eGPU project for Lenovo IdeaPad Z710, i7-4700MQ, 16GB RAM, SSD, GeForce GT745MBy damianalex
I want to show you my new project.
I bought my laptop about 5 years ago. It was never speed deamon, but for every day use, it was enough to me.
Its specification:
Intel i7-4700MQ
Nvidia GeForce GT745M
512 SSD Adata SU800
Yesterday I bought Witcher 3. Of course on 1080p it's impossible to play, because of about 10fps
So I make a decision to buy external grahpic card.
I choose GTX970 and now I am looking for occasion to buy it.
I've already bought EXP GDC v8.4d mPCI-E. It is used and cost about 30$.
I will use ATX PSU to supply graphic card, because I have old desktop PSU at home.
My plan:
1) unlock bios
2) buy GTX 970
3) enjoy Witcher 3!
BTW I try to cool down my laptop, so I replaced thermal paste to Kryonout Thermal Grizzly and make some tests. Temperatures and fps are on screenshots.
1) laptop on table, playing GTA V 1080p
- first minute (GPU core 1045MHz)
-after some time, because of high temperature and GPU throlttling (GPU core drop down even to 400MHz)
2) with thermalpad Glacier NC400 SilentiumPC
- 30 minute and longer (GPU core drop to about 900MHz)
3) without down case of laptop (like on picture with thermal paste) on thermalpad.
Here laptop never drops down MHz and max temp are about 72 Celsius degrees.
Bacause of that I bought second down case for my laptop and I will cut there additional holes.
I will describe next step when I get all stuff I need!

Hello everyone
I created a case for egpu using 2.5mm acrylic sheets. The first time I created a case to support a GPU + ATX psu
Now I created another one for the GPU with an external Xbox 360 203w psu.
the finish was not good but for my use it is already good.
*both cases album
*Construction of the second case
*adapting xbox psu to 8pin power (taken from 24pin)
all made by hand with the tools I had.
from Brazil.

I have recently acquired my Dell Inspiron 15 7000, and I am interested in building an egpu setup for it. It has a USB-C port. Any recommendations/guides out there?

Hi there guys,
I've been looking into getting a new GPU for my laptop (4-lane PCI-e) and enclosure (HP Omen Enclosure) but I cannot decided between the RX 5700 XT and the RTX 2070 (non SUPER).
I did some price to performance calculations (higher is better) with some of the best prices I can currently get in the UK.
The RX 5700 XT does perform better and is cheaper than the RTX 2070 (Although the 2070 does come with 2 games) but my main concern is drivers and from what I've heard NVIDIA cards work a lot better with eGPUs than AMD.
If anyone has experience using both red & green or if anyone else has any other input i'd love to hear your experiences and input.

Hi guys, bit of a rookie to the whole EGPU scene. Currently I have:
- MacBook Pro 2015 13inch (3.1GHz Core i7 16GB RAM)
- Razer X Core
- Apple TB3 to TB2 Adapter
- TB2 Cable (Cable Matters)
- 23inch AOC External Monitor
I am wonder about what graphics card to get to run X-Plane11 with high graphic settings?
I have purgewrangler set up and ready to use with an AMD graphics card, but am also open to the idea of an Nvidia graphics card.
Any advice appreciated. I did not buy a Windows PC as I need a Mac for various other things and wanted an all-in-one laptop.
